About This Project
Political upheaval in Iraq and Syria has opened doors for many Syrians and Iraqis to hear the gospel for the first time. These previously hard-to-access-peoples are experiencing the tangible love of Jesus Christ as believers meet some of their most desperate needs. Syrian refugees have poured into Iraq, and past events have caused a wave of displaced Iraqis. This crisis presents an opportunity to meet their physical, emotional, and educational needs and enables long-term workers to share the gospel with Syrian refugee families/groups and displaced Iraqi families/groups. They have significant physical needs in almost all situations and experience relational and social seclusion in their displaced living environments.
Your gift will open doors to meet needs, share the message of Christ’s love, and fulfill a vision for them to know God’s lasting peace. Give today while this unique window of opportunity is open. Thousands of Syrians and Iraqis who would not otherwise hear about hope, peace, and salvation through Christ will gain access to the gospel because of your partnership in this unprecedented opportunity.
Why direct giving matters
Giving directly to a missionary team helps fund the specific, on-the-ground needs your missionaries care deeply about—needs that aren't covered by CP and LMCO alone.
In the next five years, a globalization goal of all IMB workers is to mobilize 500 local believers to become global missionary partners serving on IMB teams.
100% of your gift directly supports missionaries and their ministries overseas.

Thank you so much for your generosity to this ministry and the Iraqi people God calls us to reach. Your prayers and sacrificial giving open doors to meet needs, share Christ’s love, and show them true and lasting peace. Thousands of Iraqis who would not otherwise hear about hope, peace, and grace gain access because of your partnership.
Food bags deliver hope. One specific way your generosity is helping families in crisis is through the distribution of food bags. Many families are living day-to-day, working to provide for their families. There is little work, and the salaries are small if people have jobs. Each week, families from many different backgrounds receive a visit from a believing partner. The Father uses a simple food bag—like Jesus used the boy’s fishes and loaves (Matthew 14:13-21)—to reach those who have never heard the gospel. Thank you for serving the hurting and lost.
